Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches builders tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
Paperwork scattered across sites
Site surveys, risk assessments and snagging lists end up in vans, on clipboards and in WhatsApp. Capture them on site and store everything against the right project.
Stage payments slipping
Cash flow stalls when stage invoices go out late or get forgotten. Raise them the moment a phase is signed off, take card or Direct Debit, and chase late payers automatically.
Everything builders need in one place
Compliance & certificates
Site surveys, risk assessments, method statements and Building Regs notifications completed on site and stored against the project.
Fast quoting
Saved templates and line-item pricing so extension, loft and renovation quotes go out in minutes, not evenings.
Scheduling & dispatch
See every crew member's week across multiple sites, avoid double-booking, and send "on our way" texts automatically.
Invoicing & payments
Turn each completed stage into an invoice instantly and get paid faster with card and Direct Debit.
Customer comms & reminders
Keep clients updated on progress, confirm appointments and chase outstanding balances automatically.
Offline mobile app
Complete surveys, snagging lists and handover sheets on a site with no signal — it all syncs later.

Common questions
Can I handle Building Regs notifications and structural inspections in Gaffer?
Yes. The Builder Trade Pack includes Building Regs notification, structural inspection and project handover workflows you can complete on site and store against the job and customer.
Does it work offline on site?
Yes. The field app is offline-first, so you can complete site surveys, risk assessments and snagging lists with no signal and everything syncs when you are back online.
Will it connect to my accounting software?
Yes. Invoices, stage payments and customers sync with Xero and QuickBooks, so there is no double entry.
How long does it take to get set up?
